After 20 years at Tāpapakanga, this is the one.

“Splore has been more than a festival. It’s been a living, breathing playground for self-expression, where music, art and nature collide to create moments of pure freedom and connection. A place that invites you to show up exactly as you are, dance barefoot, discover new sounds, and find kinship among like-minded souls.
As this chapter comes to a close, the spirit of Splore lives on in every shared sunrise, every painted body, and every beat that brought us together. So for all Splorers out there, let’s make Splore 2026 a beautiful farewell celebration party on the beach.”
— John Minty, Splore Festival Director
